All you need to know about the Republican tax plan:

The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks.

Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed.

Call your reps.

Certain members of NYS Assembly had been trying to pass an #aidindying bill for over a decade... and it passed yesterday for the first time. What changed?

According to NYS Comptroller’s newest report, in 2023, women in New York earned just 87 cents for every dollar paid to men. That means they’d need to work nearly two extra months to catch up.

On Equal Pay Day, we demand real change. Our work is equal. Our pay should be too. #EqualPayDay

Without @usedgov, millions of students in all communities lose vital support.

🚨 What’s at stake?
❌ 7.5M students w/ disabilities losing services
❌ Pell Grants & subsidized loans
❌ Career & tech ed for 12M students

Cuts don’t just hurt budgetsβ€”they hurt kids. πŸ’”

Mr. Bove said that the dismissal of charges was necessary because the indictment β€œunduly restricted Mayor Adams’s ability to devote full attention and resources” to President Trump’s immigration crackdown and had β€œimproperly interfered” with Mr. Adams’s re-election campaign.
